Background & full notes (expand)
What to expect: Butayama is a tonkotsu ramen shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Use this page for trip planning — always confirm today's hours on Google Maps. This is editorial guidance, not the shop's official site.
Practical notes: First visit: order the signature bowl on the menu. Add extra chashu or noodles only if you want a heavier meal. Prices are typically roughly ¥1,000–¥1,300; many shops use ticket machines (cash only in some cases).
Wait & hours: Plan extra time at lunch (12:00–13:00) and dinner (18:00–20:00). Read the ticket screen photos if the menu is Japanese-only — look for ramen, chashu, miso, shoyu keywords.
Nearby: Pair with other Tokyo stops the same day or compare two styles on separate days. On-site signage and Maps beat any third-party summary for holidays and last order times. More in the area: Rokurinsha Tokyo Station, Soranoiro Tokyo.
Extra: Tonkotsu means pork-bone broth. Hakata styles are milky and dense; Tokyo bowls may mix shoyu or add heavier seabura (fat back).
Start with a regular size; save extra chashu or kaedama for a second visit.
Finally, holidays, seasonal closures, and last-order times change. Screenshot the Maps listing while you have data; if Butayama is closed, search the same style within walking distance rather than treating this page as a booking. Editorial trip-planning only — not a reservation.
